When I arrived the place was dirty. The bedroom beds were unmade with dirty sheets. Dirty towels in the bathroom. I notified the owner and she did have the cleaners come. When we came into the clean place a used condom wrapper was found in the downstairs bedroom. There were dirty socks left under the bed in the basement. The tubes filled with water while showering and kitchen sink was always filled with water. The positive was it was close to everything.
Great location for exploring Deep Creek and the surrounding areas! This rental was perfect for our family of 5 (with grown children in their 20s). Upper and lower bedrooms via spiral staircase may be difficult for people with mobilities or with really small children, but it was perfect for us. Walk to excellent pizza at Brendaâs and coffeeshop! Beautiful view of lake from deck with functional gas fire table to enjoy cool evenings. Eleni was very responsive and accommodating- great to work with!
PLEADE READ ENTIRE REVIEW. This rental was undoubtedly the worst stay in my experience with VRBO. The condo was dirty with mold, mildew and dust. Please understand it is three floors with narrow spiral staircases conecting each floor. The spiral staircase going to the basement floor is so narrow you can't get a normal suitcase down it. There is a dehumidifier in the bedroom that actually empties water into a drain o the floor - in the bedroom! There is no AC on this floor! Because of this there was mold and mildrew growing on the doors. The bottom floor was unusable for our group, therefore one person had to sleep on the sofa on the main floor. The main floor has a portable AC unit that barely kept that floor comfortable on a July weekend. The kitchen is fairly well furnished. The loft (which they call a bedroom) has a window AC unit that was covered in a half inch of dust. It is also plugged into a surge protector that comes halfway up the wall. Can you say "janky"? We arrived late Friday night and literally had to make the best of a horrible situation. We contacted the host first thing Saturday morning to request a thorough cleaning of the property. After going back and forth basically all day, it never happened. We were in town for the funeral of a dear friend, honestly this is the last thing we wanted to deal with. I reported this property to VRBO and am still in negotiations regarding.
Great location and perfect place for a quick baseball tournament stay. Near plenty of food places, things to do and very quiet. Owners are very responsive to any questions.
Pictures are a little off. Much smaller than we thought. My husband and I are not damn people and if it were necessary to go up or downstairs it would have been very difficult. But it was adaquate for our needs.
Great little spot for three younger people looking to explore the area. Four would have been a tight squeeze. Spiral staircase that is used to access 2/3 sleeping areas was also a tighter squeeze. Owner was communicative and responsive. Pleasant little weekend!
Got charged 100 for a remote that supposedly got melted that was damaged when we got there, we never even used the remote because the WiFi didnât work the whole stay
The owner was very responsive. However, I would not recommend this property to seniors. The kitchen chairs were high tops as well as the deck chairs which was not comfortable. Also the downstairs winding stairs are hard to manage and the upstairs wasnt much easier for seniors along with the fact that there is no bathroom upstairs. Also, the kitchen supplies could stand an update. Overall we enjoyed our stay but woud recommend it for younger folks.
The place was basically as described in the listing. A little bit of TLC would go along way for this property. We had major issues trying to get the TVs to work. We never did get the one in bedroom working. We had to restart the modem several times a day to get the one working in the main living area.
It was ok, house did have a weird smell at first had to go buy freshers. Master bedroom bedding wasnât fresh. Blinds was broken, tv in the family room was broke. But we loved the condo and the area it was close to everything
Main floor bathroom you canât get a bath only the shower head works you canât turn the knob for a bath if you try and use the jets in the tub some sort of sand material comes out the bunk beds on the bottom floor are shaking and wouldnât recommend putting any child on the top bunk they tell you to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels wasnât aware we had to bring our own cleaning products and garbage bags too the area rugs are dirty and need replaced the house is very out dated the drier has some sort of dirt material built up around the edge of it if you want an Air B and B where you are responsible for everything needed to clean it and maintain it where you are there this is the one for you the pictures are very deceiving they make it seem bigger and we didnât bring an animal with us but ended up with white fur on our clothes Iâm going to go out on a limb and say it was a cat because thatâs the only animal Iâm allergic too and my eyes were super swollen when I woke up I was very disappointed I hope they can make the necessary adjustments for the next guests
The bad: The property listing says, entire house, however, is a condo. The area gets significant snow, but it had not snowed in a few days before our arrival, yet there was not even a path or attempt to clear the walkway, steps or deck. Condo is significantly smaller than photos appear. The basement bedroom was hard to heat. Steps that go upstairs & downstairs are spiral & very narrow. The floors were dirty/dusty & did not appear to have been swept in a long time. Previous guests' garbage/food wrappers in the bedside table. Pots/pans/dishes in the cabinets had food on them & had to be washed prior to use. I have stayed in many, many VRBO's and other vacation rentals and have always had the basics/starter package in the kitchen/bathroom, this rental had no dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc. (had to immediately go to store to purchase). Additionally, take note that although Maryland is a recreationally legal state, and rules do not say no vaping- DO NOT VAPE. I was charged 250 b/c host claimed strong smoke smells, which a member of our group has prescription and vapes, which does not cause strong smell that requires 250 in cleaning. The Good: Host was friendly, quick to respond, condo is in a great location, master bed was comfortable, easy check-in, lots of towels & throw blankets. Host found jewelry that was left & promptly shipped it back & provided a tracking number.
The place was OK. Photos were misleading. It was very small, across the street from the lake with no âbeachâ or locations to sit and enjoy the lake.
Some dirty items found from previous renters. Communication was poor with host during our stay. Grill ran out of gas, small indoor cooking space for a group of people. The photos made it seem like the lake was the backyard and you have to cross the Main Street to get there.
The location if this place was great, nothing that we wanted to do was more than 10-15 minutes away and we could walk to the plaza with Brenda's pizza. The place itself was clean and nice!
Comfortable stay in a great location for first stay at deep creek lake
This was our first time at deep creek lake. This location was great for us Close to many places to shop, eat, rent boats of all types and scenic drives. Great for bike rides and runs also - which I do everywhere I go.
The owner was very caring, responsive and accommodations. Thank you for a great experience at deep creek lake.
